"We believe that the autopsy by the pathologist may have had error counts and [the police] are now considering having a second autopsy to confirm the cause of death," said the official. "The feedback we have got is there are some contradictions in the version of events after Woolmer was found unconscious. But we will get a clearer picture after our manager briefs the board on what took place there"

This has now forced Shileds and co. to order a  second autopsy, though he maintained, that the police was confident they first one was accurate and he in particular was 'sure' that Woolmer was murdered. He conceded, nevertheless, that it was an issue that might be brought up by the defense after they make arrests and trial is held.

Meanwhile, back home, our players have returned, half of them in Karachi, half in Lahore, and obviously, they weren't exactly welcomed back with open arms. But still, the way its been reported in the media has disappointed me (Cricinfo say the ones at Karachi were "heckled by a crowd of around 100 people" some of which chanted stuff like "go to hell").

In Lahore things were calmer, but only because the players were let out secretly through the cargo section. One waiting fan there, reportedly said, "We didn't want to hurt them, we just wanted to vent our frustration". Yeah right, by shouting out stuff like "go to hell"?

Sad to see that even the tragic events of last three weeks has brought back very little perspective into the psyche of the obsessive cricket fan here. Very, sad indeed.
